Presidents’ Day Sales Under Way

In addition to honoring the nation’s first president, the Presidents’ Day holiday for many has also become a retail bonanza of one-day sales such as illustrated today on the sign in the window of the Ann Taylor store on Westport’s main street. Presidents’ Day, officially known as Washington’s Birthday, is observed on the third Monday of February.  A common misconception is that Presidents’ Day is the unification of Washington’s Birthday and Lincoln’s Birthday, or that it is a celebration of all U.S. Presidents. Both of these assumptions are false. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
